Answer: The correct option is (C) $0\leq x\leq 1.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that 'x' is the probability of an event happening.

We are to select the correct statement that represents 'x'.

We know that the probability of the happening of an event is always lie between 0 and 1.

If the probability of an event is 0, then it is a null event.

If the probability of an event is 1, then it is a sure event.

The probability of all other events lie between 0 and 1.

Therefore, the statement that represents 'x' is

$0\leq x\leq 1.$

Thus, (C) is the correct option.

Suppose that a box contains 7 cameras and that 5 of them are defective. A sample of 2 cameras is selected at random without repl

irinina [24]

Answer:

E(x) = 1.43 (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of camera = 7

Defective camera = 5

Sample selected = 2

Computation:

when x = 0

P(x=0) = 2/7 × 1/6 = 2/42

P(x=1) = [2/7 × 5/6] + [5/7 × 2/6] = 20/42

P(x=2) = 5/7 × 4/6 = 20/42

So,

E(x) = [0×2/42] + [1×20/42] + [2×20/42]

E(x) = 1.43 (Approx)

Answer:

is $\sqrt{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

var x = +3 (one side of right angled triangle)

var y = +1 (the other side of the right angled triangle)

Use the Pythagoras' Theorem.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Part 1) $-1.25$ -------> $2.75/(-2.2)$

Part 2) $-4\frac{1}{3}$ --------> $(-2\frac{3}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

Part 3) $\frac{2}{3}$ ------> $(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})$

Part 4) $3$ ------> $(2\frac{1}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$2.75/(-2.2)$

To calculate the division problem convert the decimal number to fraction number

$2.75=275/100\\ -2.2=-22/10$

$(275/100)/(-22/10)$

Remember that

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(275/100)/(-22/10)=(275/100)*(-10/22)=-(275*10)/(22*100)=-(275)/(220)$

Simplify

Divide by 22 both numerator and denominator

$-(275)/(220)=-125/100=-1.25$

Part 2) we have

$(-2\frac{3}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

To calculate the division problem convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

$(-2\frac{3}{5})=-\frac{2*5+3}{5}=-\frac{13}{5}$

$(-\frac{13}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(-\frac{13}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})=(-\frac{13}{5})*(\frac{5}{3})=-\frac{13*5}{5*3}=-\frac{13}{3}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{13}{3}=-(\frac{12}{3}+\frac{1}{3})=-4\frac{1}{3}$

Part 3) we have

$(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})=(-\frac{10}{17})*(-\frac{17}{15})=\frac{10*17}{17*15}=\frac{10}{15}$

Simplify

Divide by 5 both numerator and denominator

$\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}$

Part 4) we have

$(2\frac{1}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

To calculate the division problem convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

$(2\frac{1}{4})=\frac{2*4+1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}$

$(\frac{9}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(\frac{9}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})=(\frac{9}{4})*(\frac{4}{3})=\frac{9*4}{4*3}=\frac{9}{3}=3$
